Eat A Sub, Grant A Wish In Westfield

WESTFIELD, NJ – Local charities are joining forces with 78 Jersey Mike’s Subs restaurants in New Jersey for the 9th Annual March “Month of Giving” campaign to fund local charities.

During the month of March, customers can make a donation at participating Jersey Mike’s restaurants to:

• Make-A-Wish New Jersey (67 locations in North and Central NJ including Ocean and Monmouth Counties)
• Alex’s Lemonade Stand (5 Jersey Mike’s restaurants in South Jersey + 12 in Pennsylvania)
• Hugs for Brady (Princeton and Hamilton Square)
• Ryan’s Quest (Hamilton)
• Sean’s Pals (West Orange)
• Steps Together (Hillsborough)
• Westfield YMCA (Westfield)

The campaign will culminate in Jersey Mike’s “Day of Giving” on Wednesday, March 27, when local Jersey Mike’s restaurants will give 100 percent of the day’s sales – not just profit – to the partner charities.

On Day of Giving, local Jersey Mike’s owners and operators throughout the country will donate their resources and every single dollar that comes in to more than 180 different charities including hospitals, youth organizations, food banks and more.

In 2018, Jersey Mike’s locations in New Jersey raised nearly $390,000 for local charities during the campaign.

“Last year’s nationwide Month of Giving initiative raised more than $6 million for charities making a big difference in their local communities, and this year, we hope to raise even more,” said Peter Cancro, Jersey Mike’s founder and CEO, who started the company when he was 17 years-old. “From the early days, it’s just what we’ve always done — give to give, as they say. This March, I invite you to visit Jersey Mike’s to help support an important cause in your neighborhood.”

Last year’s Month of Giving campaign raised more than $6 million for 170 local charities nationwide. Since 2010, Jersey Mike’s locations throughout the country have raised more than $34 million for local charities and distributed more than 2 million free sub sandwiches to help numerous causes.
